news releaseFollowing is a statement by Amy Hanauer, executive director of the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, regarding President Trump’s FY2021 budget released today.
“The Trump administration has created the largest deficits to occur in modern times outside a recession, thanks to the Trump-GOP tax law.
